Session Objective Get the moves that get the crowds! Learn several new knockout routines to integrate into your Zumba® classes - superstar steps that will leave your students with a smile. Plus, network with fellow ZIN™ Members, get inspired and benefit from personal feedback - everything you need to be the best instructor you can be.

History & Background Zumba® Fitness provides Zumba Instructor Network (ZINTM) Members with the tools that they need to be successful. One of the unique benefits of being a ZIN Member is receiving music and choreography on a regular basis. With each new ZIN Volume, you receive a music CD and a DVD which has two different sets of choreography: a one-on-one breakdown of moves and a demonstration of the song taught in its entirety, and a live class using the same music with totally different choreography. Music and choreography are two essential elements that make the Zumba Fitness program unique. The ZIN Volumes enhance your music collection with new rhythms and contribute to your Zumba Instructor toolbox of choreography ideas for your class. You may choose to use the choreography “as is,” modify the moves to accommodate the needs and abilities of your students, or create your own patterns. However you decide to use the ZIN music and choreography, be sure to add a bit of your own flavor and personality, to make it your own and connect it with your teaching style.

Application of the Zumba® Formula Zumba® Fitness provides Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN™) Members with the tools that they need to be successful. One of the unique benefits of being a ZIN Member is receiving music and choreography on a regular basis through ZIN Volumes. However, with each new ZIN Mega Mix Volume, you receive a music CD with no choreography. ZIN Jam™ sessions give you choreography to these Mega Mix songs. Music and choreography are two essential elements that make the Zumba Fitness program unique. ZIN Jam™ sessions enhance your music collection with new rhythms and contribute to your Zumba Instructor toolbox of choreography ideas for your class. You may choose to use the choreography “as is” or use the modifications shown by the Zumba Jammer during the session. However you decide to use the ZIN music and choreography, be sure to add a bit of your own flavor and personality, to make it your own and connect it with your teaching style.

Basic Steps & Variations Choreography in ZIN Jam™ Sessions uses Basic Steps and their variations as learned in Basic 1 and 2 Trainings.
